Yes, if you have a wireless router, that is WiFi. Once you have an active BlackBerry Data Plan on a BlackBerry, you should be able to connect to that and data that you use while on WiFi won't be counted against your data limit.

Come back once you get the device and you can get instructions on how to connect.

I get it that your parents don't know about phones, but you will need them in order to enter into a contract. And they might be able to help you read the webpages and understand and compare the features on the pages.

Typically, the phone service carrier/provider will allow you to track data used on their website. Again, this will require assistance from the account holder which will be someone other than you most likely a parent.

Also, there are data tracking applications that you can install on the device.

Ace, I moved and retitled it. Not sure if any reps from that carrier cruise the site, or how many members here use it. Most of your questions thus far could be answered by calling the carrier themselves. I'll caution you, as mama has, going beyond your plans data limits will be costly. Wi-Fi won't impact that data, so use it as often as possible.

BBM does used data, and varies depending on how you use BBM. If you only converse with contacts, it takes very little. Start sending pictures/voice notes, and it's will increase. Join groups, and that size can grow quickly. I'm a member of 4 groups, and the database backup for them is approximately 10MB, so you can see how that will add up.

Wi-Fi is how you avoid data usage. Anything done connected to it is not counted on your data. That's why on a very (to me) limited plan, being on Wi-Fi as much as possible is a good idea. I'm the last person you want to discuss data usage with though. I go through 5-10GB of data a month.

The only data BeBuzz uses is when you download it. Not sure, but my guess is it's not more than a 1MB install.

Kiddo, you are fretting far too much, about things you don't need to. As long as you have a full BlackBerry data plan, you can do darn near everything over Wi-Fi. Relax, read through the forums some, and for G_d sake, go outside and play.
